Christie Malthouse

[AOK]

There's alot of talk about Eddie commentating, what about Christie after the GF this year. Instead of being a proffessional reporter she looked in shock. Her face was distraught. I wonder what jubilence she would've portrayed if the Pies had won.

AOK - short for AussierulesOK

No different to Sam or Tim Lane had the Blues won, Bruce if the Crows won, Cometti if the Eagles won, Quartermain if Hawthorn won, Hudson had Geelong won etc...

And that's why these 'professionals' should be professional and step aside when 'their team' is involved - not talking about After the Game, Footy Show, etc - just for call of games

Yeah, I noticed that as well. She looked rather distraught, and I was wondering if she really needed to stay a little more detached from the result whilst acting in a professional manner.
Having said that, I think generally she does a pretty good job.

I really think she does a good job, she doesn't seem all that biased to me.. But at 3qtr time, she looked like she was going to burst out into tears.

 

[grinspoon]

just turn off the volume n watch then

 

[AOK]

Agreed, she does a good job and is easy on the eye
I'm not sure if those other comentators would be near to tears though.

Or Hudson, If Sydney had LOST.

She looks so cute when she's upset.

Christies pretty professional. Although she was clearly in shock I thought she held it together well. What I really wanted was lots and lots of shots of Eddie and Joffa. Ten wimped it.

 

[Schneiderman]

Last years GF she seemed more composed. This year she even said "Good luck Dad" on camera with the prematch interview!

Professionalism has certainly dimished now that Nine and Ten have taken over. The President of the club and the coaches daughter both commentators... is that neptism or what? Oh and its quite different if you are a past player or related to one of the current players.

She looked like she was trying to hold back the tears during her 3 quarter time report,although that could've been because she had to listen to Throbbie Balls waffle on.

I can't understand the fuss about Christie ... she has a head like a robber's dog.

She says that every prematch interview they do together.

 

[Grave Danger]

Last year she actually did do a Mick Malthouse.

I never noticed it before... that just makes it worse. For those of us who hate the Pies its sentimentality that is not needed.

I remember seeing Christie, Mick and his wife huddled together in the rooms after the games bawling their eyes out...brought tears to my eyes seeing it.



















I was laughing that bloody hard!!

Yeah, and reminds us all of how she got the job in the first place. At least Tiffany Cherry went and got herself a "show" name...

 

[Wojee]

If only she hadn't inherited Mick's nose.
